40. Mr. HAMILTONasked how many insurance committees have now informed the Insurance Commissioners that the drug fund in their districts will be insufficient to pay the accounts of the chemists for 1913?
Mr. BENNMy right hon. Friend is informed that in the case of about twenty-two insurance committees in Great Britain the chemists' accounts presented are stated to be in excess of the drug funds at present available; but, as I have already said, it cannot as yet be stated whether there will in fact be any deficiency.
50. Mr. HAMILTONasked the Prime Minister whether he will give a day for the discussion of the deficiencies in the drug fund which have occurred under the National Insurance Acts?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEAn opportunity will arise to-day.
